Meiwa Kumquat
sc4001992:
You should have kept the Nagami and grafted on the Nordmann seedless nagami. It tastes a little less sour and no seeds. I did that on my Nagami so now it is mostly Nordmann seedless kumquat. I like it better than the Maru or Meiwa now because it still has a lot of fruits and easy to eat with no seeds to worry about. One of my favorite kumquats now, but the Crispy Honey is too sweet and can't beat that one.
SoCalGardenNut:
Kaz, I didn’t know anything about grafting, I only learned how to graft recently. My brother has my trees, not sure whether he eats the fruit or not.

Nordmann seedless nagami is one of my favorite citrus, but I see how it could be too sour for some.

SoCalGardenNut, I have a good story for you. A good friend tells me his father-in-law eats at least 1 Nagami kumquat from his tree everyday so he has to make sure to pick some and keep it in the refrigerator when he asks for more. That man is over 100 now, I think 103yrs old. He says it's because he has been eating the kumquats all these years.
SoCalGardenNut:
Good story Kaz, I’ve been eating grapefruit marmalade everyday because of the peels, maybe I will get to 100.
